The black gem cat frowned and entered the Sakura Tavern with a lot of thoughts. It was thinking about the relationship between the black robes, the eclipse, and Kolma, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't find the connection between the nouns.
association.
He looked up and saw the owner of the tavern.
It was stunned again.
Because Colma looks very different today than usual. Although she is still sitting behind the bar, there is no open bottle of rum in front of her, nor is she playing tarot cards, but reading a book!
Yes, in my impression, this was the first time Zheng Qian saw Kolma reading a book.
A few little stars were chasing each other under the ceiling, scattering silver-white starlight throughout the room, making the witch's silver hair shine particularly brightly. She pursed her lips, held a quill in her hand, and read the book with a serious expression.
Make an upward stroke.
"sit."
The witch didn't even raise her head and gave simple and concise instructions.
The black gem cat climbed up to the bar and sat obediently next to the snack plate. He stretched his neck and tried to peek at what book the witch was reading, but as far as he could see, all the words on the page were blurry and could not be read clearly.
It tried hard for a while with its eyes open before realizing that this was probably some kind of anti-peeping magic, which meant that the owner of the tavern didn't want it to see what was in the book.
The black gem cat retracted its neck angrily.
It is just an ordinary kitten. When a great wizard tactfully restricts it from doing certain things, it should wisely obey the great wizard's arrangements.
But after waiting for a long time, the witch was still busy with her business. The black gem cat became a little anxious, and finally couldn't help but ask: "——What happened to those black robes just now?"
"The wizard of the school's divination group." The witch answered simply and clearly, without raising her head.
"Divination team? Why are the people from the school's fortune telling team looking for you?"
"Because I was the only witness, they needed clues to pursue."
"Witnesses?" The black gem cat perked up, and its ears immediately stood up, feeling that it seemed to be close to some truth: "What witnesses? What are they hunting for?"
Kolma's eyes finally moved away from the books and fell on the fist-sized black cat.
"They are hunting for Professor Monteria, and I am the last person who saw the professor." She said these words in a calm tone, completely ignoring the puzzled expression on the black gem cat's face.
"Hunting for Professor Monteria?"
The kitten raised his paws and wiped his ears, thinking that he was hallucinating: "That's Professor Monteria from the other vice-dean on the edge? Our magic text professor?"
"If you don't have another magic text professor, yes, it's him." The witch gave an affirmative answer.
The black gem cat fell completely silent.
Although it is essentially a stone and sometimes has a slow response, that does not mean it is stupid.
After a while, the Black Jewel Cat sorted out his thoughts and asked in a low voice the first thing he didn't understand: "You... I mean, why are they hunting down Professor Monteria?"
"Because he took advantage of the solar eclipse to attack me."
Korma didn't seem to worry about how much trouble these answers would cause to the black gem cat, and answered carefully without any perfunctory: "——Just a few hours ago, the aftermath of our fight almost destroyed the entire Gu Diao.
Street No. 33... Everything you see now is the result of the school's use of magic to restore it. The good news is that Professor Monteria may still remember that he is the vice president of Fringe College and has not treated other North District
The wizard struck hard, so no one died in the conflict."
The black gem cat unconsciously raised its voice and yelled: "Is he crazy? Attacked you? Why?"
Korma looked up and down the black gem cat with great interest.
"There are a few guesses, but they may not be correct."
She raised three fingers and bent them one by one: "——Maybe he thinks that without me, he can become the dean of the Edge College; maybe he thinks that without me, the school will give another special configuration to
Him; or, perhaps, he really just came to visit me on an impromptu basis tonight, but accidentally got out of control."
The first two possibilities are not difficult to understand.
"What does 'accidentally losing control' mean?" Black Jewel Cat's voice was a little hoarse, and his body sat upright. He was vaguely aware of something, but he was not sure yet.
The witch's lips curled up slightly.
"It's just like you thought." She looked down at the book at hand again and said in a calm tone: "I remember that you worked as an assistant in his laboratory before. What is the name of his laboratory?"
"High-level magic text and bloodline research laboratory."
"Yes... bloodline research. The most dangerous and most easily out-of-control magical research in the world." The witch let out a long sigh, but she never revealed the possibility that the black gem cat had guessed.
crow!
It's a crow!
Professor Monteria is the big crow hiding in the school!
The black gem cat roared in his mind, countless thoughts collided with each other, and finally tore through the hazy veil that had been blocking its eyes - it couldn't wait to bring this big news back, and let the guy in the body spend the night
It couldn't sleep well, but at the same time, it wanted to know the whereabouts of Monteria.
"Where is Professor Monteria now?"
"Of course I'm hiding." The witch shook her head, calmly as if talking about someone else's business: "——He underestimated the completion of my real body, so he missed it. After causing such a big trouble, the school must not be able to
Stay, as for other places..."
She raised her head again and looked outside the tavern.
The black gem cat followed her line of sight and looked out the window, finally realizing that there were two moons in the sky tonight. However, the real moon was too dim and small, and was completely submerged in the brilliance of the other moon.
"...The school is making every effort to trace his whereabouts, but as far as I know, the investigation is still controlled and controlled within a certain range. After all, the defection of a great wizard at the vice-dean level is unprecedented in the history of the First University.
What happened. A scandal of this level is enough to throw the entire alliance into chaos...cough, cough, cough!"
She suddenly coughed violently, and her face turned a bit gray visibly.
The black gem cat looked at her worriedly.
"——Are you injured? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Even though it knew that these were all nonsense, it couldn't help but said: "If the money is not enough, I can lend you some."
The wizards in the North District have always been poor, this is the consensus of everyone, and Kolma, who needs to take care of such a big mess, naturally can't save much money.
This makes it wonder if the witch is here because she has no money.
It just so happened that someone had made several "big arms orders" this semester, and his wallet was bulging. Anyway, Black Jewel Cat didn't need to pay, it was naturally very generous.
